Hi there

I am looking for a C++ to C translator. It either should be able
to generate code that doesn't depend on strange libraries,
or should come with the source (C) code of ALL libraries needed.

I have a Transputer based machine from Parsytec running PARIX,
and an ANSI C compiler. For example, I heard that some people had
problems using AT&T C-Front, related with the libraries.
(Could anybody confirm or deny?)

        Thanks in advance

i think, no flames please, that on most compilers there is a
intermediate step where the C++ code is 'compiled' or 'translated'
into C code.  On my C++ compiler you can tell it not to delete the
intermediate file after it is done with its compiling sequence...

The Glockespiel compiler uses the AT&T preprocessor, but is way
out of date (version 2.1, I think). Most other compilers (eg, g++)
are integrated and don't produce C intermediate code.

Yes, but the code produced still depends on its run time library,
just as ordunary C code won't (usually) run without libc. If you use
statically created global objects, things get even more complicated,
as they have to be created by the RTL _before_ the main programme
takes control.
